Humor has always been one of our most effective defense mechanisms.

For the third consecutive night, Israelis across the country have been awakened by air raid sirens warning of incoming rocket fire, but many are responding to the disruption with characteristic dark humor.

The popular Israeli satirical TV show "Eretz Nehederet" ("Wonderful Country") captured the national mood with a viral video poking fun at the now-familiar routine of middle-of-the-night runs to bomb shelters. The clip, which has been widely shared across social media platforms, resonates with many Israelis who have found themselves stumbling to safety in pajamas at 3 AM.

The recent wave of nighttime attacks has particularly affected communities in central Israel, with sirens sounding while citizens are fast asleep. Despite the serious security situation, many Israelis have taken to social media to share memes and jokes about their interrupted sleep patterns and increasingly well-practiced shelter routines.

The humor, while helping many cope with the stress of ongoing attacks, also reflects a deeper resilience in the face of continued security challenges.
